With Bomberman Hero arriving on Virtual Console today in Europe, the N64 is firmly back in many gamers' minds, while for some it never went away. This month's issue of Retro Gamer magazine is ideal for both, as it's a special collector's edition detailing Nintendo's 64-bit beauty in all its glory.

Taking a look through the system's most collectible games as well as its reception, add-ons and legacy, the issue celebrates the joy of collecting video games with a special spread showing N64 games in mint condition. Nintendo Life reviewer Mat Allen even contributed to the piece, so you know it's high quality.

Check out the video below for an overview of the issue, available now at all good newsagents across the UK, or alternative you can buy Retro Gamer online. While you're at it, why not pick up a copy of Retro Gamer issue 86 which contains a rather good Streets of Rage retrospective written by Editor-in-Chief Damien McFerran with News Editor James Newton.
